Hint Hitler Orders Slaughter If Revolts Peril Spring Drive

REPORTS OF THIS character are reaching Washington in increasing numbers. They come from Norwegians, Danes, Dutch, Poles, Czechs, Belgians, French, Jugoslavs, Greeks and neutrals. Nevertheless, despite the most ruthless Nazi treatment, inhabitants of the occupied regions continue to hamper German activities. That there are vast “underground” organizations which plan and carry out this work is well known. In certain areas, as in Jugoslavia, the anti-axis campaigns have reached the proportion of bloody guerrilla warfare. That Hitler is alarmed over this quasi-revolt in the invaded areas is no secret. The movement from now on will be increasingly dangerous. The Nazis need every man they can get hold of for the coming offensives. They are combing the occupied regions for every available German soldier. In Jugoslavia they are leaving Bulgarian troops behind to hold down the population. Elsewhere they are using Italians, Hungarians and Rumanians. An uprising in the middle of his sume mer campaign might play havoc with Herr Schickelgruber.

THE MEN WERE LINED up against the wall while from a semicircle both Poles and Germans, looked on. A German official read the death sentence. Then he made a speech in German and had it translated in Polish. “Listen, Poles!” he said. “A German farm has been burned in Dobron. Another has been burned near Lodz. Granaries were burned in the country of Sierads and in Marzenin, For these crimes committed by Polish gangs, 10 persons from Marzenin have been sentenced to die.” Five of the Poles were shot forthwith. Four more were forced to kneel by the bodies of the others and were executed as they knelt. The 10th man, so badly beaten he could not move, was dragged from

the truck and shot where he lay. Many of the Polish women fainted. The Polish men were forced to dig graves for the dead. “That,” shouted the Nazi officer, “will etach you Poles not to destroy

CIVIC LEADERS BACK COULTER

‘Foreign Affairs Knowledge |

IN HOLLAND, THE German authorities continue to round up hostages, some of whom are being forced to mount guard at various places, their lives being forfeit if anything serious happens while

they are on duty. In Poland a new criminal code has been set up decreeing death, in wholesale or retail, to “Poles and Jews” who possess firearms, commit “any act of violence” against Germans, German property, the armed forces or its auxiliaries, etc, or even for “the expression of anti-German feelings” The law expressly stipulates that minors are liable. Recently, according to Polish sources, a German farm was burned. Soon thereafter the Polish inhabitants of all the surrounding villages were routed from their beds at 6 a. m. and driven to a nearby forest. German settlers were also brought to the scene. Quickly a board wall was erected. whereupon a truck arrived and 10 Polish men were pulled from it by the German police.

3 NATUROPATHY CASES PUSHED

Better Business Bureau

By WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS Scripps-Howard Foreign Editer WASHINGTON, April 11. — On the eve of his now-or-never offensive, Adolf Hitler is reliably reported to be facing a civilian uprising throughout the axis-occupied areas. _ To head off a threatened revolt which might well destroy his last chance of victory, the Fuehrer is said to have ordered the slaughter of thousands of men, women and even children if necessary. In Jugoslavia, for example, according to a spokesman for the Belgrade government in London, the Germans have posted proclamations threatening the execution of 16,000 hostages now in their hands unless guerrilla warfare is ended by Monday. At Brest, in occupied France, the Nazis have warned the population to be ready for a state of siege without further notice. The announced reason is “the existence of elements which, when the moment appeared favorable, might engage in manifestations with unpredictable repercussions.”

A. R. Baxter Heads New Organization; ‘Victory’ Drive in Fall.

Articles of incorporation for a civic organization which will combine the money-raising campaigns for benevolent, charitable and patriotic purposes were being drawn up today. The organization, to be called the United War and Community fund, will conduct a “victory campaign” late in September and early in October. The goal of the drive may be $1.500,000. The Community fund will participate in the effort just as its member agencies have participated in Community fund campaigns of the past Offices and other facilities of the Community fund will be used by the new organization, thus making possible a saving in campaign costs. Groups to participate in the campaign will include the United Service organizations, the British and Australian War relief, United China relief, Naval relief and Army Emergency funds. 0. K.

A. R. Baxter was elected president of the new organization at a meeting at the Columbia club yesterday. William C. Griffith and C. E. Whitehill were made vice presidents and Fermor S. Cannon was elected treasurer.

Insists On Revocation

Of Licenses.

The Better Business Bureau today pushed action against three Indianapolis naturopathists charged with “gross immorality.”

“All three have appealed from the state medical registration board's rulings revoking their licenses to practice and have taken their cases to court. They are: John R. Scherer, who last Wednesday won a ruling in the Hamilton circuit court against the medical board. Mr. Scherer formerly practiced in the State Life building. william BE. Davis, whose attorneys yesterday argued in the Hamilton court that it had no jurisdiction. Mr. Davis practiced at 3920 E. Washington st. Carl D. Hill, whose case is to come up in the Hendricks circuit court. He practiced at 730 Virginia ave.

Overley Is Petitioner

In all three cases, Toner M. Overley, head of the Better Business Bureau, appeared as the petitioner. The Scherer case was the first in which the bureau had suffered a reversal in court on appeal of the state rhedical board's action in revoking licenses. Judge Cassius Ind,

M. Gentry ruled in Wednesday that evidence was insufficient to uphold the board's action against Mr. Scherer.

mittee also will be appointed. Its function will be to investigate the uses of any funds requested from local contributors by any participating organization and to impart this information to prospective contributors. Organizers of the United War and Community fund have received assurances that the money-raising campaigns of the Chinese, British and Australian relief organizations and the drive of the United Service organizations in Indianapolis will be combined for one campaign. These drives have been scheduled for April, May and June. Home Front Stressed

“All of us have our part to do in this war.” Mr. Baxter said after he was elected president of the United War and Community fund. “This work of ours on the home front means that we are building a unified army of workers and givers, doing its full part toward winning on the battle front through every help on the home front. “Under these conditions, it is absolutely necessary that each of us should face the fact that this combined campaign will call for twice the contributions required by last year's Community fund. We must be ready to meet this doubled war need.”

HEALTH INSTITUTE MEETS

The sixth and final monthly meeting of the Indianapolis Y. M. C. A. health education institute will be held at 7:30 p. m. Monday in the central branch of the organization. Dr. Donald White, associate professor of bacteriology, will discuss “Allergy.”

which says in part:

“We would like, in view of the |

propaganda, misunderstanding, misinterpretation, misinformation so widely spread, to have your answer to the following questions: #1. Are you in favor of amending in any way the overtime provision in the wage and hour law?” (Our organization opposes any amendments.)

“2. Are you in favor of any legislation that includes any of the proposals of the Smith bill of 1941, or Smith bill 1 of 1942 or Smith bill 2 of 1942? Specifically, we mean on this—do you favor incorporating unions: do you favor any modification of labor's rights for collective bargaining, striking, picketing: do you favor political restrictions on the membership of unions; do you favor publication of the financial matters of labor unions; do you favor the freezing of labor relations? (Our organization opposes all of these.) ” 2

2 2

Seek Definite Answer

POINTING OUT THAT these matters have been before congress long and often enuogh for the congressmen to have definite opinions, the letter warns against “equivocation, red-baiting or ‘we will consider your letter’ sort of answers. + There is no compromise as far as we are concerned on any of these matters. ! An indefinite answer we will have to assume is an evidence of unwillingness to take a stand.” Mr. Frisbie also tells the congressmen that “we find the greater part of the public, which is supposed to be up in arms about imaginary strikes, imaginary holdups of labor's responsibility to our defense program, this public which is supposed to be ready to knife incumbent congressmen, has scarcely even noticed the elections. We feel it is unfortunate of course that the primary registration has been slight, but we know that the bulk of our

membership is registered and will vote.”

Assuring the congressmen that “this organization has officially taken no stand opposing or endorsing any single candidate for re-election,” Mr. Frishie adds “This is not intended to be an unfriendly letter.”

WORK TO BEGIN AT FIELDHOUSE

Conversion for Use Navy Training School To Start Monday.

Butler university officials met today to select a contractor for the remodeling of the fieldhouse which is to be turned over to the navy in June.

Work on the project is to begin Monday, Details of the navy's agreement with the university were outlined by Rear Admiral John Downes, ninth naval district commandant, in a letter to Hilton U. Brown, chairman of the Butler board of directors. Admiral Downes said that the men would be given a 16-weeks’ course, and the first contingent of 200 would arrive June 1. Two hundred would be sent the first of each month through September.

Won't Use Classtooms

Maintenance of the fieldhouse will be carried out by the university and the recreation of the recruits will be arranged by the university and the commander of the navy school. The navy will not use Jordan hall classrooms as previously planned.

American and British Pilots Bag 7 Jap Planes in Burma

in which American and British pilots shot down seven army fighters at least, a Burma command communique revealed today. The seven planes were shot down by American and Royal air force planes, the communique said, when the Japanese attacked a northern Burma air field and were intercepted. (A United Press dispatch from a base of the American volunteer group said that the A. V. G. shot down seven Japanese planes for certain and four more probably.) Japanese planes were bombing front lines, rear bases and Burma cities. A central Burma town was among the cities bombed, the communique said, and their raids were intensifying all over the front. British forces were believed forme ing their new lines between Prome

‘land the oil fields to the north. The

communique said that there had been no contact, on that western part of the front along the Irrawaddy river, since three Japanese motor vehicles were engaged by light empire reconnaissance troops Wednesday north of Prome. Chungking reported that Japanese forces had reached a point 60 miles

ter, Republican candidate for the nomination as 11th district congressman, “The most important problem confronting America is the win= ning of the war,” the statement read. “Our domestic problems are, in comparison, of minor importance. It is urgent, therefore, that we send to Washington men with experience and knowledge of the international situation. «of the candidates for congress here in Indianapolis, there is one man who is best qualified to deal intelligently and decisively with questions of this character.

Only men of his background, knowledge and character can chart the way out of our present national difficulty,

Advocate of Economy

“Mr. Coulter is strongly opposed to unnecessary governmental exe penditure which is not vital to victory. “All of us have a tremendous | stake in seeing our country move forward swiftly and decisively in the playing of our part, along with the united nations, in the successful prosecution of this war. A large share of that responsibility under our system of government is in the hands of our representatives in con= gress.
